Mrs. Burgess passed peacefully away into the waiting arms of her savior, Jesus Christ, in the early hours of June 25, 2023 at her home in (Liberty City) Gladewater, TX after a lengthy illness. Janet was born in Midwest City, OK on October 31, 1962 to parents William H. and Bonnie D. Gordon. She worked as an accountant for over 30 years in Kilgore until her illness forced her into retirement.
Janet treasured spending time with her husband, her numerous pets over the years, as well as her family and Sunday School friends. Janet had an intimate relationship with her Lord Jesus Christ and was dedicated to studying Scripture daily. Janet was a member of the First Baptist Church of Liberty City. She loved her Sunday School Class where everyone was loved more than they will ever know.
Janet was preceded in death by her father, William H. (Bill) Gordon, and brother, Ronnie Dale Gordon. Those left to cherish their memories of Mrs. Burgess include her husband, Wayne M. Burgess; her mother, Bonnie Gordon, of White Oak; brother, Robby Dean Gordon (wife Kathy) of Vista, California; sister Nelda Ann Gordon of White Oak, as well as her countless extended family and friends.
